Manuel Fombuena 96fa4d6995 leds: st1202: Correct and extend hw_pattern documentation
Fix the repeat section: -1 is a valid value meaning infinite repeat,
as accepted by the ledtrig-pattern sysfs interface; only 0 and values
below -1 are rejected. The previous text incorrectly stated all negative
numbers were invalid. Also remove the redundant trailing sentence since
the behaviour is now covered inline.

Add the brightness range (0-255) to the hw_pattern section, which was
previously undocumented.

/sys/class/leds/<led>/hw_pattern
--------------------------------
Specify a hardware pattern for the ST1202 LED. The LED controller
implements 12 low-side current generators with independent dimming
control. Internal volatile memory allows the user to store up to 8
different patterns. Each pattern is a particular output configuration
in terms of PWM duty-cycle and duration (ms).
To be compatible with the hardware pattern format, maximum 8 tuples of
brightness (PWM) and duration must be written to hw_pattern.
- Brightness range: 0-255
- Min pattern duration: 22 ms
- Max pattern duration: 5610 ms
The format of the hardware pattern values should be:
"brightness duration brightness duration ..."
/sys/class/leds/<led>/repeat
----------------------------
Specify a pattern repeat number, which is common for all channels.
Default is 1. Writing 0 is invalid. Writing -1 or 255 repeats the
pattern indefinitely.
This file will always return the originally written repeat number.
